Alcoloc

ABSTRACT

The invention that we propose, the Alcoloc, performs all the functions necessary for locking the top of a liquor bottle, which consequently make it&#39;s contents inaccessible to our children, roommates, and all other uninvited self servers.  
     Bottom Line—The demand for a product such as this, far exceeds it&#39;s supply, up to this point, “Non Existent”.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates generally to the field of locks andrestraints, and to be more specific, a whole new field, that needs thelocking capabilities designed into the “Alcoloc”.

[0002] There is no existing technology for the invention that wepropose. However, history begins with us today. Our product will solve amajor problem that has plagued our society since prohibition.Statistical data tells us that children are experimenting with alcoholat the alarming young age of 13 years old. Tougher laws on thepurchasing and selling of liquor have not been very effective in keepingit away from our children. Unfortunately, we are our own worst enemy inthis struggle, providing an easy source of liquor, to our kids, right inour own homes.

[0003] Since history starts today with our technology, priors are nonexistent!

[0004] Since there is no existing technology, the deficiency lies in thelack thereof.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The two main objectives of the Alcoloc, are as follows:

[0006] Performing the functions necessary for locking the top of aliquor bottle, which consequently make it's contents inaccessible to ourchildren, roommates, and all other uninvited servers.

[0007] “WE LOCK OUT TEMPTATION, AND LOCK IN PIECE OF MIND”

[0008] To achieve our slogans expectations successfully is our hope. Itis our vision, to reduce the level of temptation that accessiblequantities of liquor delivers into the impressionable minds of ourchildren. By achieving the first, we deliver the second. Piece of mindcomes to those who take every step within their means to protect theirloved ones. Were not just selling a mechanical device, we're sellingpiece of mind as well, and you can't put a price on that.

[0009] Other objects and advantages of the present invention will becomeapparent from the following descriptions, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, wherein, by way of illustration and example, anembodiment of the present invention is disclosed.

[0010] The Alcoloc was invented to perform a function that has neverbeen purchasable. It is a self adjusting lock that will conform to theradius of almost any bottle. Used in conjunction with the cap cover, abottles contents become unattainable. In a preferred embodiment theAlcoloc will be used in all homes where children and liquor arecohabitants. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of millions of householdsacross this country where this is true. This is a lethal combination,and the numbers concerning minors and alcohol related traffic deaths arestaggering. When considering these facts, with the many millions ofhomes in desperate need of the Alcoloc, it's easy to see that there aremillions of orders, for the Alcoloc, just sitting there waiting to befilled.

F) grab the combined unit (FIG.J) and guide the curved feet from part 2&3 (FIG. E) through thehorizontal openings in part 1 (FIG. A) . Now push parts 2&3 toward eachother, while they automatically tighten around the bottle, lock in placeunder the lip, and secure it's contents. To release just entercombination or key, (to be determined in final phase of development bymanufacturer) and pull part 2 away from part 3, and remove from bottle.
